Objective: To investigate the association of special family structure and physical activity with psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students, so as to provide reference to inform mental health promotion in the population. Methods: From September to December 2024, a convenience sample was drawn from 16 schools including 5 141 secondary vocational school students across 8 provinces (municipalities) in China (Fujian, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang). A self developed questionnaire, Multidimensional Sub health Questionnaire of Adolescents and International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form were used to investigate and evaluate basic information, family structure, psychological sub health status and physical activity. Descriptive statistics and Logistic regression analysis were performed to explore relationships of special family structures and physical activity with psychological sub health in secondary vocational school students. Results: The detection rate of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students was 11.0%. The reporting rates for secondary vocational school students who lost their father or lost their mother, whose parents divorced, whose parents remarried, and those from special family structures were 2.8%, 0.8%, 11.8%, 3.9%, and 14.7%, respectively. Moreover, the detection rates of psychological sub health and its sub dimensions significantly differed among secondary vocational school students grouped by family type (divorced parental families, remarried parental families and special family structures)( χ 2=5.90-22.67, all P <0.05). Binary Logistic regression indicated that maternal bereavement was associated with a higher risk of conduct problems [ AOR ( 95% CI )= 2.90(1.15-7.33)], and parental divorce was associated with a higher risk of psychological sub health ( AOR= 2.71 , 95%CI =1.04- 7.06 ) among secondary vocational school students (both P <0.05). Interaction analysis showed that both students with a special family structure and insufficient physical activity [ AOR (95% CI )=1.99(1.44-2.75)] and those with a non-special family structure and insufficient physical activity [ AOR (95% CI )=1.81(1.48-2.22)] were associated with increased risks of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students (both P <0.01). Conclusion Special family structure and physical activity are associated with psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students; early identification and assessment based interventions for those with a special family structure should be strengthened, while school based physical activity should be implemented to increase physical activity levels,thereby reducing the risk of psychological sub health.

In the context of the rapid development of 5G technology， the development of artificial intelligence （AI） in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） faces new opportunities and challenges. Focusing on how to uphold tradition while innovating in the development of AI in TCM， starting from the current development status of AI in Chinese medicine， including the integration of four diagnostic methods， syndrome differentiation and treatment， auxiliary diagnosis and treatment， research and development of Chinese herbal medicine， prevention and treatment of diseases， knowledge inheritance， and other aspects， this paper discussed the support of policies and technical advancements， as well as development opportunities such as increased demand for health. Regarding machine ethics， data ethics， regulatory review， and other aspects， it also proposed some suggestions that the training algorithm should be improved to assist medical work； data ownership should be clarified to ensure data security； and an AI ethics committee should be set up to improve the review system， aiming to maximize the advantages of smart healthcare and accelerate the modernization of TCM for the benefit of patients and the service of human health.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are reported as a group of neurodevelopmental disorders. The structural changes of brain regions including the hippocampus were widely reported in autistic patients and mouse models with dysfunction of ASD risk genes, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we report that deletion of Trio, a high-susceptibility gene of ASDs, causes a postnatal dentate gyrus (DG) hypoplasia with a zigzagged suprapyramidal blade, and the Trio-deficient mice display autism-like behaviors. The impaired morphogenesis of DG is mainly caused by disturbing the postnatal distribution of postmitotic granule cells (GCs), which further results in a migration deficit of neural progenitors. Furthermore, we reveal that Trio plays different roles in various excitatory neural cells by spatial transcriptomic sequencing, especially the role of regulating the migration of postmitotic GCs. In summary, our findings provide evidence of cellular mechanisms that Trio is involved in postnatal DG morphogenesis.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of focal cerebral arteriopathy (FCA) in children, and to analyze its influencing factor of prognosis.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data from 40 children with FCA who were hospitalized at the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from September 2015 to August 2024 were collected. A centralized follow-up was conducted in October 2024 via outpatient clinics or the internet. The pediatric stroke outcome measure (PSOM) was used to evaluate their outcomes. Based on the PSOM, the children were further divided into a group with normal neurological function and another group with abnormal neurological function. Differences between groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher exact test. Univariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors for neurological outcomes in children with FCA. Results:A total of 40 children were included, with 20 males and 20 females, and the onset age of 9.2 (6.8, 12.5) years. Among them, 12 cases (30%) had a history of varicella within 1 year before onset. There were 23 cases (58%) presenting with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or recurrent fluctuating symptoms of onset, while 3 cases (8%) developed progressive stroke within the first month of onset. The M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery was the most commonly affected vascular site, with a total of 16 cases (40%). Arterial occlusion occurred in 8 cases (20%). Lumbar puncture was completed in 36 children, and white blood cell counts in cerebrospinal fluid was increased in 6 cases. All 23 patients who completed magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (VWI) showed circular enhancement of the arterial wall. A total of 28 patients (70%) received antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy, and 16 patients (40%) received hormone therapy. At admission, the pediatric National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (PedNIHSS) score was 6.0 (2.0, 8.8) points, which decreased to 0.5 (0, 3.0) points at discharge. The follow-up duration was 1.6 (0.8, 4.9) years, with 1 case lost to follow-up. There was 1 case presenting with recurrence course manifesting as TIA. Among the 39 cases who completed the follow-up, 23 cases (59%) were assessed as neurologically normal by PSOM, while 16 cases (41%) were assessed as neurologically abnormal. Among the 29 cases who completed the imaging review, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) review in 23 cases indicated stability or improvement in the original arterial stenosis, with 6 cases experiencing transient worsening of arterial stenosis early in the disease course (within 2 months), which later improved. Arterial stenosis progression occurred in 6 cases at the final review of 29 cases who completed the imaging review, with 1 case developing progressive cerebral arteriopathy. The proportion of patients with headache, altered consciousness, and aphasia in the abnormal neurological function group, as well as the PedNISS scores at admission and discharge, were all higher than those in the normal neurological function group (all P<0.05). Univariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that only a PedNISS score>6 points at onset was an influencing factor for abnormal neurological function ( OR=20.58, 95% CI 3.93-107.70, P<0.001). Conclusions:Childhood FCA often presents with fluctuating onset, and the proximal segment of the middle cerebral artery is frequently affected. Progression of arterial stenosis is common within 2 months of the disease course, but clinical progression and new ischemic lesions are uncommon. Most patients have a favorable long-term prognosis. PedNIHSS score>6 points at admission is related to abnormal neurological function outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations of medically refractory hereditary movement disorders in children and the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS).Methods:A case series study.The clinical and follow-up data of 20 children with medically refractory hereditary movement disorders who underwent DBS treatment at the Neurology and Functional Neurosurgery Departments of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from July 2018 to April 2024, were retrospectively analyzed.The severity of movement disorder symptoms and surgical effects were evaluated using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale Movement(BFMDRS-M) or the Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale Ⅲ(UPDRS Ⅲ).Results:There were 12 males and 8 females among the 20 children, with an onset age ranging from 4 months to 12 years and 5 months.Fourteen patients had hereditary dystonia, which is related to KMT2B in 11 patients, TOR1A in 2 patients and SGCE in 1 patient.Two patients had choreoathetosis, which is related to ADCY5-related familial movement disorders.Two patients had early-onset Parkinson′s disease, which is related to ATP6AP2 in 1 patient and VPS13C in 1 patient.Two patients had neurodevelopmental disorders with involuntary movements, which is related to GNAO1 in 1 patient, and the other patient was idiopathic.All the children were given oral Levodopa, Benzhexol, Baclofen, Tiapride Hydrochloride, Clonazepam alone or in combination.Three children showed obvious dyskinesia after Levodopa treatment.The symptoms of movement disorders in all children exhibited little to no improvement.Levetiracetam and Zonisamide had unstable effects in the treatment of myoclonia.DBS surgery was performed on all the patients aged from 3 to 16 years.Electrodes were successfully inserted into bilateral globus pallidus internus in 14 cases and bilateral subthalamic nuclei in 4 cases.The target was unknown in 2 cases.No surgery-related complications were observed.The patients were followed up for 3 months to 6 years, and the last follow-up age of the patients ranged from 5 years and 7 months to 22 years and 1 month.The rate of improvement in BFMDRS-M score was 37%-100% in 16 patients and >70% in 7 patients with hereditary dystonia.The rate of improvement in UPDRS Ⅲ score was 23% in 1 patient with VPS13C-related early-onset Parkinson′s disease. Conclusions:Childhood medically refractory hereditary movement disorders are a case series that exhibits significant phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity.DBS surgery demonstrates significant efficacy for KMT2B-, TOR1A-, and SGCE-related hereditary movement disorders.
